Hello Brad, thanks for your response. Actually this was meant as a contribution to the "primacy question"; just to add a little tidbit of information of who did (advertized) what (drum micrometer) when with which arguments. In my opinion it doesn't matter who claims a certain accuracy - and for that matter: in which country the company was situated - the interesting question is when there was a practical shift in the employment of a certain technology - or improvements on a known technology.
